Chapter 313
After crossing the Yangtze River, from Zhenjiang all the way to the southeast, through Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, seven days later, Shen Mengxi and they finally arrived in Suzhou City.
"Next time you can walk by water, resolutely don't take the carriage again!" Shen Mengxi rubbed his little buttocks, pouting and complaining over and over again.
Xiao Ju and Du Ruo couldn't help but laugh. In the past few days, every time she arrived at the inn where she was staying, Shen Mengxi had to ask Tang to give her a massage before she was willing to fall asleep. But he couldn't stop him from riding in the carriage on the second day, and he continued to endure the bumps of the carriage. On such days, Shen Mengxi has been living for eight or nine days in a row, and Shen Mengxi has a moment of special urgency to figure out the rubber tires!
Thinking about the rubber tires is too against the sky, it is not appropriate to appear at this time, even if she researches it, she can't keep it, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the Shen family, so Shen Mengxi dispelled this idea.
Rubber tires aren't viable, but there's one thing that does! Shen Mengxi took advantage of the boredom in the car these days to draw a spring pattern, planning to wait until he settled down in Suzhou, and asked Shen Zhongyi to find someone to make it.
Uncle Yuan was sent to Suzhou by Shen Zaishi in advance, first, he wanted to see if the ancestral house of the Shen family was still intact, and then he took the title deed of a house in Suzhou City, and let people clean it up so that they could live directly after they arrived.
Uncle Yuan received their group at the city gate, said hello to Shen Zaishi, jumped into the first carriage, and sat side by side with the coachman to guide the way.
After entering the city, the carriage traveled for about half an hour, and they survived in an alley to the east of the city.
Shen Mengxi was hugged off the carriage by Shen Zhixin, she looked at the back of the carriage she was riding, and saw that the carriage that had been following her was gone, and she was stunned for a moment before she remembered that those carriages with cages and servants could not go through the main gate, and had probably been led to the side door of the house!
"Xiaoxi, the garden we are going to live in is a very good garden, it is said to be the most extensive garden in the entire Suzhou City!" Shen Zhixin hugged Shen Mengxi and said as he followed Shen Zaishi into the gate.
Shen Mengxi glanced up at the plaque on the door, which was inscribed with three big characters "Honghui Garden".
Shen Mengxi's impression is that there is no Honghui Garden, it seems that in modern times, the largest garden in Suzhou should be called "Humble Administrator's Garden". Shen Mengxi didn't plan to dwell on this problem, there were similarities between this place and the world in his previous life, but there were still many differences, so Shen Mengxi only thought that the one he was currently in was an empty dynasty! She was very curious about what Shen Zhixin said about the largest garden in Suzhou, and she didn't know what it would look like!
Step into the main entrance, around the shadow wall is a small lake that covers an area of about one acre and laughs, the rockery by the lake is lined up, the covered bridge on the lake crosses, and there is a lake pavilion in the center of the lake, which is very delicate and elegant. There are remnant leaves and dead branches in the lake, and occasionally a few egrets fall in the middle of it, stop for a moment and then fly away.
Following a bluestone path on the left-hand side, bypassing the small lake, Shen Mengxi saw the hall facing the gate. They did not enter the hall, but entered the courtyard of the second hall through a moon gate on the left side of the hall. There are three houses in this two-entry courtyard, all of which are three large and wide rooms, which are located in the shape of a zigzag among the trees and flowers. Shen Mengxi guessed that this place should be used as a study for men.
